Tasting notes
Always good, the 2022 Château Clément-Pichon is medium ruby-hued with a juicy, upfront nose of red and black fruits, sappy spring flowers, roses, and cedary herbs. This medium-bodied, elegant, juicy, incredibly satisfying, and balanced Haut-Médoc is perfect for drinking over the coming 8-10 years.

The 2022 Clément Pichon has a delightful bouquet with blackberry and cranberry fruit aromas, good intensity and well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied and quite citrus-fresh, with edgy tannins and a bright, lively finish. Less heavy and oaky than previous vintages, this is a Haut-Médoc that has been going in the right direction in recent vintages.
Delivers Left Bank personality, a touch of swagger, rustic tannins, hedgerow berry fruits, rustic and unfussy, remain a little unresolved on the finish. No need to wait too long.
Tobacco, mint, currants, smoke, and licorice open the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, sweet, bright, and crisp, with lift and fresh flavors in the finish. The wine blends 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2038. 90-92 Pts.
